Ok, so since I went from my nice name brand 4GB class4 to a patriot 4GB class6 I have had all kinds of issues trying to get my apps to my SD. When ever I tried to reformat the card through windows vista or win7 it would disconnect, and when trying to launch computer management it would freeze until the phone was disconnected. I would also connect it, right click to format, i would get the popup asking if Im sure I want to format the card, and then when you click format it would fail immediately and the phone would disconnect as external media. So nothing I could do could reformat the card even tho at the time there was a 3.5GB FAT32/.4GB ext2 so I stuck it in Ubuntu. Same weird issues trying to format with GPartition. So I tried Partition manager which would only allow me to delete all the partitions and create ext2 but whenever I would create a FAT32 it would fail at the last 90% of the job and the phone would disconnect form the comptuer, I could then reconnect it and complete the job. I tried this about 20 times after number reboots in Vista and Win7 to no avail. I tried every updated ROM with every type of Apps2sd conversion and nothing is working, everything keeps installing to the phone even after all the commands are successful in the terminal. Finally this morning I got to work and tried with XP and it formatted first try, and now I am midway through resetting everything up. My major issue is that once I install a new build it will work until I setup the apps on the sd card, once I do that I hang on the second slpash screen.

In short I dont know what is going on but I wanted to report my issues incase anyone else was having similar problems. It would seem XP is my savior but that seems really odd.
[G1 Android Development] jzerocsk:
I have the same issue in Vista. If I need to format the card I just use a reader instead.
[G1 Android Development] brandenk:
Symptoms:

- SD card not recognized by Windows Vista or Windows 7

- If SD card is detected if you right click > format, that operation will instantly fail and the SD card will become disconnected.

- Opening Admin Tools > Computer Management > Disk Management will hang until you disconnect the SD card

- SD comes up as unallocated and needing a format but any attempt to format it will fail

- After installing Apps2sd it hangs on second splash screen

- After installing Apps2sd it hangs on android logo

- Cyclic Redundancy Check error when copying files to SD

- Phone and computer both not recognizing the SD card

Attempted fixes:

- Installing JFv1.5

- Installing 1.5Hr3Apps2sd

- Installing Dudes Apps2sd

- Installing everything imaginable from radios to RC29 and re-rooting

Chain of events that worked:

- Installed JFv1.5 - get a fresh download, install and wipe. You can do this by using another SD card, putting your SD card in another computer, or using a combo of adb or fastboot. Depending on how I messed up my phone determined which of those ways I could do it.

- Format your whole SD card to FAT32 - Same as above, depending on your situation you may need to use a card reader or a computer with linux or Paragon partition manager. I had more issues in Vista and Win7 than XP just FYI incase thats an option to you.

- Split your partition into FAT32/Ext2 - Take your total card size formatted to FAT32, mine was 3.8GB and I wanted .4GB (400MB) so in the below coding where it says "size" I used 3400M, make sure you use a capital M, for more info on this topic click here. Then, with an internet connection open up your terminal emulator and type each line and then enter:

- NOTE - The above 2 steps can be skipped if done in Paragon Partition Manager (which I owe thanks for saving my SD card when the Disk Management in all versions of windows and Gpartition in ubuntu failed to see the card, but not PPM)

- Part 1 of 2 for setting up Apps2sd - First step is to download this file. Extract those 2 files onto the FAT32 (windows visible) partition of your SD card. Then open up your terminal emulator and type out each line and hit enter:

- Part 2 of 2 for setting up Apps2sd - Once fully rebooted download this file and copy the AppstoSD2.apk to your SD card. With a file manager program (ASTRO for me) install AppstoSD2 off of your SD card. When it is done launch the program and select, Copy Apps to SD. Once that is done your phone will reboot. Once its back up and running choose the second option, Copy dalvik-cache to SD. Once that is done you will need to manually reboot.

- DONE!!! - Once I was done rebooting my phone now reports as having ~400MB of internal storage and it feels much snappier. I hope this guide helps someone.

Huge props to Stericson and MarcusMaximus for their help in fixing my phone. I suspect others may run into similar issues not knowing you need to split the sd card, then create those links with init.rc and a2sd.sh, and THEN install the appstosd program so maybe this will help someone else.
[G1 Android Development] brandenk:
Update: Phone froze during a call, I pulled the battery, and it hung at the second splash screen, and the JF1.5 update.zip file on the SD card could not be found. I went and found my old reliable SanDisk 2GB, put the update on it from my computer, flashed, wiped, and once everything was good to go I tried to put the 4GB class 6 card I have been using but now the phone, linux, xp, vista, win7 all fail to recognize the card at all. I dont know what happened but my issues started when I got that card. I am taking the new Patriot 4GB class 6 card back to fry's and Im running my 4GB class 4 that I had before I upgraded. Everything is setup now and working fine so hopefully I just had a bad SD card.
[G1 Android Development] MonkySlap:
I wouldnt use the phone to format your sd card. I had no issues formating on vista, winxp, win7 when using a sd card reader. I think it has something to do with the fact that you dont have direct access to the sd card when formating from the phone. I think Android just mounts the /sdcard partition and makes it writable through the usb. if that is the case then you dont have access to the partition tables on the card. Not a linux or android guru, just a theory.
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
1: Don't try to format the sd card using your computer when it's in your phone, if you need to format it, use a card reader.

2: ext2 isn't readable by Windows, so if your ext2 partition isn't showing up on the computer, that's normal.
[G1 Android Development] arjaythomas:
i had haykuro adp 1.5 but flashed jf 1.5 to put apps on sd and its stuck on tmobile g1 screen.
[G1 Android Development] brandenk:
Yes! The easiest way for me was throwing the card into my Ubuntu laptop and both the FAT and Ext2 partitions pop up on the desktop so you can backup or partition them easily.

And when my card crapped out last night and I put the class 4 back in I was not recognized on any computer but I could at least format it from the phone. From there Partition manager could see the drive and partition but the format was invalid. I then ran the SDSplit method and was able to get the partitions visible in Ubuntu (but not in Windows). From there I copied files (wallpaper, ringtones, etc.) to the SD card and rebooted and when it came back up Windows was able to see the files on the SD and now everything is setup again and good to go.
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
I have had 2 Patriot 4gb Class 6 cards that both have bad sectors within the first month...as well as randomly getting "bad_removal" from my phone with them. And then it finally losing the filesystem!

I am now using a Kingston 4GB Class 4 card and havent had any issues in 2 weeks.

Patriot isn't all that bad but I think these cards are duds.
[G1 Android Development] bestwebs:
Hi,

Just wanted to add:

I purchased a kingston 16 gb class 2 from ebay - working apps to sd no problems. I used it for 1 month.

Then I upgraded to an Adata 16 gb class 6 from newegg.com. Using it for 2 weeks now with no problems. Apps to sd and dalvik-cache to sd.

My firmware Haykuro 5.02H r4.

These 2 brands seem to be reliable.

:)
[G1 Android Development] brandenk:
I just ordered the A-Data 16GB cl6 card off newegg.com. When I get it I will see what happens and report back.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] macgyvern70:
Im just a newbie and I really dont know anything to begin with, flashing and stuff, why did the developers of XDA did not make the upgrade easy? Im tired of using win mobile 2003? why did the developers of win mobile 6 make it easy, now the problem I really don't know how to start? the procedures are to technical and to risky? I really dont know? can anyone help?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Cotulla:
Because new rom designed only for experienced users.

you should look into official rom at first and understand basic Windows Mobile stuffs and features.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] tobias1981:
great answer. :D

But you are right. The instructions are basically simple and as easy as possible.

If someone says "does not work" without precise information at which point of the instructions he is stuck he is basically too lazy to check things out on his own.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] svenni1982:
that´s why i bought a second device. first device for testing and a second device for everyday using.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Notmynick:
Hi i have successfully upgrade my German O2 XDA Mini direckt from German Orginal Rom with Radio 1.12 to Cotullas 6.1 Rom.

It was a Little Bit Tricky.

When i connect the XDA in Bootloader-Mode and start the Upgrade the Toll does not find the Version on my Device. But Serial connection work fine. In the describtion was wrote that the Device must beconnectet by Serial-Bootloader and Active Sync in same Time. But my Active-Sync want not Sync in Bootloader-Modus.

OK get off Bootloader-Mode and Sync my Device, .... start Flash Tool again, .... now the Tool list my correckt Softwareversion and list Cotullas Version as Update, ... when i klick Upgrade he turns the Magician Automatik into Bootloader mode and want Start Flashing. But at the beginning i became a issue that the FW was not made 4 my Device and Upgrade was not possible.

After that i repressed the upgrade button, ... he doesnt list my Softwareversion but lists Cotullas at this time, ... Magicia is still in Loader-Mode. I press Flash, ... wait 20min and everything is Fine.

Now i have the English Cotulla Rom without Flashing anything bevore.

Here only the Steps:

1. Connect Device normal(not Bootloader) and Try upgrade. It Stop with a message that the Firmware is not for these Device.

2. Just retry, upgrade, it does not list the current SW Version, but just Flash, it will work.

And, .... sry i have to say that, ... Cotulla i Love You!!!!!

[XPERIA X1 General] amazin:
Hi,

i'm from France and i'm the proud owner of a X1i since the end of last december. It's my first ever WM phone and i love it.

yesterday it started acting awkwardly, no more rotation to landscape mode when opening hardware keyboard and when i type on the hardware keyboard the text doesn't display.

i don't know how it all started. i was in a train and i was charging the xperia on the train plug while playing to spores origins from EA games.

when i wanted to send a text message i realized that two things i just said (landscape and keyboard problem).

what should i do? i've tried several soft reset but nothing.

i'm using the original R1 firmware.

i was expecting the R3 firmware in the next few weeks to update but now i'm thinking charging the R2 to see if it solves my problem.

If u have any idea, or if anyone had the same problem, feel free to tell...

Thx
[XPERIA X1 General] uzi94:
hard reset?
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
hard reset. hold down silver buttons and stick the stylus in the hole under the battery cover.

**** happens thats why when things are good its best to make a backup (i like spb backup).
[XPERIA X1 General] amazin:
thx for ur answers.

i did more than hard reset.

i updated to R2 firmware but it hasn't fix anything.

still the same issue with landscape and keyboard issue.

i think it might be a hardware problem. maybe the switch that says to the phone that the keyboard is open or something?

any idea? is the last way to contact customer support?
[XPERIA X1 General] luizlouie:
place the x1 on top of a strong magnet,to reset the switch ,that controls the change.
[XPERIA X1 General] licinka:
I had the same problem, one of my keys on the HW keyboard got jammed, so that blocked all other hardware keys except for the power button. maybe the same thing is with your x1. try pressing firmly every key on the keyboard, to see if one of them is jammed...

hope that works
[XPERIA X1 General] amazin:
i've tried both the magnet and stuck key tricks but none worked.

just sent an email to customer support (can't reach them on phone today as it's victory day).

dunno what else to try.
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
victory day? where u from?
[XPERIA X1 General] amazin:
well in France may the 8th is a public holiday.

but i think we are going away from the xperia and this thread.
[XPERIA X1 General] VanAuberjim:
Were you sitting on the 1st wagon? The one that is small and has the engine? I once sat on the wagon that had the engines of the train. It has a huge electromagnet that destroys sensitive devices if you stay near for long time. I also noticed weird behaviour using my Nintendo DS so I moved to another wagon immediatelly and everything went back to normal.
[XPERIA X1 General] amazin:
well i was not in the 1st wagon but in the last one, but maybe that's where the problem comes from.

aside that problem the X1 works normally.

only text messaging is a pain the a** because i must use the software keyboard for now.

thx for popping up that idea.

Hello,

I just switched to JUICY 7 ROM. I was wondering if there is a way to remove some built-in programs (TF3D, MSN money.....).

Does anyone know how to do this.

Thanks a lot.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] sucka:
First of all for tons of tweakes you can find them here.

And now the registry hack updated...

Don't forget to backup your registry first !

Step 1:

- Put all uplink regs in HKLM/Software/HTC/Audiogain to value CC

Step 2:

- Make `EAC_GAIN_EMBEDDED` from HKLM/Software/HTC/Audiogain from binary to Dword so delete it and make a new one... with value 115

Step 3:

- In HKCU/ControlPanel/SoundCategories/ make in atenuation category 3,4,5 new Dwords and set all from 1 to 5 to value 5 and change then in all sound categories to a desired attenuation 0 is mute and 5 is the loudest

Step 4:

- Change all initvol to 5 in all categories

And that's all and if you want more volume change `EAC_GAIN_EMBEDDED` to a higher level but trust me you wont need it...

Thank you and i hope it helps you too, for me it worked and i enjoy it...

And Now you have two cabs to simply install the tweaks.

Please install both cabs for the tweak to work...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] sucka:
I have a questionf you btw, how can i bind shutxp to holding down power button instead of just shutting down??
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] sucka:
Now thats done and its perfect :D thanks to Cracing, and now i am awaiting your opinions :) it took me sometimes till i finally figured it all out :D and with the help of some S.V.I.-s roms :) and then i started tests :))
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] SeanFromSoCal:
Mixed Results (possibly my bad)

Tried your fix late last night. First I backed up my HKLM/Software/HTC/Audiogain. Then did steps #1-4. Made a phone call from my house phone to the mobile to see if it was louder. It appeared it did make a positive difference in the volume.

Then I went thru the rest of the day assuming everything else was fine with the phone. I then noticed I wasn't getting any beeps from incoming SMSes. I tried checking the volume level and it was half way up. Increased it all the way and I only heard very low beeps, not what it usually was. Then tried to play some games and could barely hear the music.

I restored my HKLM/Software/HTC/Audiogain, reversing the changes in step #1. Now my game and notification sound volume is back. Tried making a phone call and it does appear louder than I remember. Still need to do more testing for sure.

So everyone please backup their registry before trying this by manually editing. Your fix did do what it said so perhaps I did something incorrectly in the steps and messed up values I shouldn't have. What do you recommend the default value for step #2. You never stated so I assumed to start at zero(0) and increase if you need even more volume.

Next time I will try your CABs the next time I flash. Thanks for this tip. I hated how I had to strain to hear my callers and disappointed about my speakerphone volume.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] sucka:
well sorry my bad :D i forgot something, delete the binary of the 3 EAC gain and then the fix :) i switched the binary with dword and in the cab that switches the audiogain i couldn't make a command to delete those...il post some screenshots of how my registry looks like soon to be more helpfully...

First you install resco registry editor or similar to that. Browse to the root level. Right click on the root icon and choose export. Then give a path for the registry files to be exported.

Note that I did this with resco registry editor . good luck.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 8igdave:
Hey i have a quite a bad problem. My phone appears to be unlocking its self very easy and ringing people in my pocket, today it rang 8 people in the space of an hour. Ive got pocketshield but this stops it picking up calls, not ringing them. Im unsure what to do. I dont even know how its happening, im thinking the top button must keep getting pushed in my pocket or something.

Any ideas/apps to lock phone after wakeup? I dont want to put the pin on it because it may end up locking my phone instead! plus its a bind having to enter a pin every few minutes. Something like pocket shields scroll down the screen etc would be good. But i see no option to enable it for when waking up.

Thanks.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Flycs:
I've had no such issues since using S2U2. Give it a try!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tkolev:
Or LockMeLite - much lighter than S2U2 and doing just what you want - locking the screen and hardware buttons when power button is pressed and unlocking the screen on incoming call so you don't have to unlock to answer and still keeping the buttons disabled so you can take it out of the pouch without accidentaly answering/ignoring the call.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mainsail:
Me too.. LockMeLite has been definitive for me. No more "lost" calls by hardware.

Fk
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] REwulf:
My solution was to stick a crystal case on it,it recess's the power button so its not pushed by accident.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] dplx:
if u press and hold the phone icon bottom right it locks the screen , to unlock pull out the stylus.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 8igdave:
the problem is its not to do with calls or texts, i have pocketshield for that. Its to do with the powerbutton keep getting knocked. At least i think it is.

holdign down the phone key to lock the screen sounds like a gd idea ill look into that.

And yeah getting a protective case might solve it too. Ill cehck that out too thanks, though i do kinda like the sleak design. I gues its gona get ruined proably lol.

:EDIT:

Simply locking the screen before turning it off works a charm! thanks. Now im just wondering, is there an app that will just auto lock it when i turn screeen off ? Just makes it all that easyer so i dont forget and call people again!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kdu:
I had the same problem before using a belt case. I tried s2u2, but it's lagging. Now I'm satisfied with Pocketshield. Just work in its setting and you can have it work well.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tkolev:
Again - LockMeLight. It locks the screen automatically when the phone goes to sleep and you have to slide the screen down when waking it to unlock it. On top of that it disables the hardware buttons when locked, so no accidental calls are made when you unwillingly wake the device even with the screen locked.
